Death of a Famous Man.

Robert Reams a well-known citizen OF the
Indian Territory, died at the Cleveland
House in Hot Springs Sunday night, OF
typhoid fever. His remains have been en-
balmed and will be sent to Washington
City. where his mother resides, for burial.
Deceased is brother OF the famous sculp-
turess Vennie Reams formerly OF Wash.
ington, but now Mrs. Hoxie, OF Alabama;
ALSO OF Mrs. Berry Fuller, OF Washington.
His mother will meet his remains at St.
Louis on Monday morning. His wife and
children live near Caddo, /. T., but none
OF his family were with him, and can
not now reach there in time to see his re-
mains. Bob Reams has been a noted char
acter in the Indian Territory for more than
twenty years, and has been an adopted
citizen OF the Choctaw tribe for a much
longer period. HIS was a man ofnerve, and
added huge feather to his cap few years
ago by killing Ben Jones, the worst despera.
do the Indian Territory ever produced, at
McAllister. Jones had for years been the
terror OF that section and was in the habit
OF riding into the little towns out there and
making the inhabitants take to the woods
On the day he met his death he went to
McAllister for the avowed purpose OF kill
ing Reams, but the latter got in the first
shot and saved his own life. He was never
punished, the general verdict being that he
had performed righteous act.

Hemmed I'm by Fire.

HARTFORD, Conn, Jan. 9-The most seri
Gus fire which has occurred in Hartford for
years broke out at noon to day in the dry
goods store of G. o. Sawyer 81 Co and secured
great head way before the frozen hydrants
could be thawed. 1t burned till after O'Clock
and completely ruined the block of three
stores, of which G. o. Sawyer 81 Co.'s store
was the central.
About an hour and a half after the fire
started the fremen found In the rear of Saw
yer's store the dead body of Thomas r
Laughton, clerk Of the fire board and one Of
the editorial staff of the Times. He had evi-
dently gone into the store when the fire first
started and been unable to get out. Just af-
ter the fire was seen there was an explosion
and the glass front of the store was thrown
into the street. and 1t Is supposed that finding
his chance of escape BY the front of the store
cut of, he ran to the rear of the building. The
back windows were all protected by heavy iron
bars and his body was found directly under
one of these windows, where he had been suf-
focsted. He had broken the glass and vainly
tried to tear way through the bars.
The burned block belonged to Averill e. Tate,
and was valued at SIS 900. and the insurance
was about $4,000. Sawyer & Co lose So, 900; /;
insurance $59. 500, in twenty-three companies
Jacobs & Forbes. in the south store of the
block, lose $4,000; insurance, $4,000. Isaac
kashmann, in the north store of the block
loses $4,000, insurance $500. A building
owned by the estate of G. Fox was damaged
$4,000; insurance 5000. G.. Fox & Co.
the occupants of the latter building. had ar
insurance OF $4,000 on their stock, which was
badly damaged by water. Mrs. Hollister, who
lived over Kashmann's store, suffered loss OF
$4,000, which is covered bv insurance.

Robbed by a Priest,

NEW YoRY, Jan. 9.-Rev. Father Stumpe,
pastor Of St. AIMS church in the northern part
Of this city, has disappeared with large
amount of money raised by the church for the
purpose of erecting a new building. Five
years ago, after winning the confidence Of his
parishiOners, he announced that he proposed
to collect funds to build a church, and monev
flowed In, some of it in the form OF
special donations and the rest at the regular
Sunday collections The trustees permitted
him to act as receiver and cashier, but toward
.he latter part Of last year grew uneasy. as un-
pleasant rumons fitted through the Deighbor-
mood that he was spending q good deal OF
money. Shortly after this the trustees waited
on Father StJmpe in a body and demanded
the accounts, to which the priest replied that
he had accounted to the bishop and that was
sufficient.
Philip Pregenzer, the president Of the
board, was called west on business and Father
Stumpe made q tour among his parishioners,
bade them fearful farewell, sent In his re-
sgnaton to the bishop and vanished. Before
he left he gave it out that he was going to
Europe on pilgrimage
President Pregenzer returned from the west
and found the priest gone. He at once began
an active search for the account books of the
fund, but they are still missing. DAYS passed,
and recently the trustees took the congrega.
tion into their confidence. Father j. Andrew
Zeigler, the present pastor, assisted by the
trustees, prepared a financial statement and
mailed it TO the flock. 1t is brief but pithy
1t Is 10 German and starts with the announce
ment that Father Stumpe left no cash behind
him-''No cash" being printed in capitals.
What he did leave is cOncisely stated as
mortgage on the church for $4,000, back wa
ter taxes for 1914 30, . $500 assessment for
sewer, personal bills for $2O9, and other items
for $4,000.

Lawrence's Big Blaze.

LAWRENCE, KAN, Jan. 9-The fire which
started at midnight burned fercely until
daybreak this morning. and only stopped then
because practically the entire block in which
It had originated had been reduced TO ashes
The fire brigade was entirely unable TO do
anything toward staying the progress OF the
flames, though the men one and all worked
like heroes. Lack of water, however, prevent
ed any effective action, and about all they
could do was to assist in the removal of goods
from threatened buildings. Luckily for Law
renee there was no wind and the blaze was
not carried even across the four streets form
ing the burning block. While the fire was at
its height a barrel of gasoline in Siler's gro
Gerry basement exploded causing much excite
ment, but doing no damage. 1t is said that 1t
was heard over a mile away. To add to the
general discomfort the mercury in the ther-
momcters indicated % degrees below zero and
the hose was badly frozen up several times,
the tiny streams obtainable not having power
to prevent such mishaps
The fire smOldered all day in the ruins and
was viewed by hundreds of persons No
damage was done, however, after daybreak
There are many conjectures as to the cause
OF the cOnfiagratiOn but nothing positive can
be obtained. The generally accepted theory
is that hre was left in a stove and blaZed up so
that it communicated to surrounding wood
work.
The loss is variouslv estimated at from $50,
OOJ 10 S2OO, 00l and is more likely To fall over
the former than under the latter figure The
insurance so far as known is only Sol, 900.
The principal loser is Mr. Kahnweer, whose
stock was valued at So, 1000, on which the in
surance was S:5,00O.
George Falley lost almost everything. His
stock and furniture, amounting to S26,0U0,
was insured for only $1,000
Mr. Siler, proprietor of the PhGnix grocery,
lost everything. His stock was valued at
5000 and he had noinsurance.
The grocery of James Montgomery was a
total loss, the key being in the hands of the
sheriff who lad just issued an attachment
against it. The loss is estimated at s., 50J;
insurance unknown.
Straffron's drug store was damaged to the
extent of $500, and Weideman's shoe store
and kelley's barber shop were also slightly
damaged.
Nothing was saved from the Salvation army
hall. The building occupied by James Mont
gomery was owned by F. Deichman and was
valued at s., 800; insurance s., 800. The Nc
CollOugh block worth SIS 600 and is nearly
covered by the insurance. The buildings oc-
cupied by George Falley and c. w. Straffon
were owned by Jacob House. They cost Sll,-
900 and are fully covered by insurance.

The Mortgage Paid on the wittrock
IOmeStcal.

LEAvESwoRTH, KAN, January 10.-The
instrument which was the indirect cause OF
the great Jim Cummings robbery is recorded
on page 33 OF the mortgage book OF 1855
at the Register OF Deeds office. H. coYers
some five pages OF the volume and contains
two separate mortgages. Stripped OF all
legal verbiage, it is about rs follows: "On
the 1st day OF January, 1885, Eliza witt.
rock, a single woman, mortgaged to the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, OF
Hartford Conn, for the sum OF S1,700,
lots Z and =, in block 26, proper, for five
years, payable at the office of Jarvis Conk-
ling & Co., Kansas City, Mo. The rate OF
interest is 6 per cent per annum, payable
semi-annually on the LIST DAYS Of January
and July; the interest to be II per cent
per annum after maturity of mortgage"
The second indenture is II mortgage for
S225 to Jarvis Conkling Il Co., on the same
time. The object of this is to pay the CON-
mission Of Jarvis CCnkling & Co. for nego-
tiating the loan. These mortgages are the
cause assigned by Wittrock for committing
the Frisco robbery, and they were paid
to-day through a loan agency at Kansas
City. the money, it is alleged, having been
sent her by the Adams Express Company,
as promised.
Some few facts have now come to light
about Moriarity and the entire gang. Mori-
arity, when he came back, gave his mother
$500, and aIterward offered 500 to a man
with the instruction to keep it until this
thing blows over" A rumor that has
reached great circulation here is that at the
time of the rObbery, n young man named
Morton was waiting on the daughter of
Mrs. Mast, mother of Mrs. Haight. Humor
says that a few days after the robbery Miss
Mast informed Morton OF the particulars
of the robbery, and he went Immediately to
st. Louis and gave the matter to Pinker-
ton who gave him 81, 900. However, Nor
ton denies this.
Today Henry Jansen, agent OF Emma
Moore, received a letter from her in which
she says that she does not want him to
think that she had any connection with the
that telegraphed reports Of her
with the case are entirely false.

Sunda. night, after leaving her father down
stairs, she attempted to go through the exer-
else unaided. One of the ropes accidentally

to retire he noticed the light in her room aud
he called to her to say god night Receiving
no esp'nse he entered the room and found
his daughter corpse.
